Favre fallout you may not have considered....

The Packers offered Favre $20 million dollars to NOT play football, right? What kind of position does that put them in at the bargaining table when the next Packer wants to re-negotiate his contract this upcoming offseason? I imagine it might go a little something like this:

PLAYER X: Man, did you see how much ___________ just got paid? I can get that, right?

PLAYER X'S AGENT: (eyeballs spinning like cartoon slot-machine wheels $$$$$) You are such a hard worker and a pillar of the community. You know, I want to do that for you. That would be the right thing to do, the Christian thing to do.

the next day, TED THOMPSON's office

TEDDY T: I'm sorry, there's just no way we can afford to pay you that much money. You know that we are a small-market team. The fans own the team, and --

PLAYER X'S AGENT: You had the money to pay Favre twenty million dollars to stay away, but you don't have the money to compensate a player who is here and contributing?

TEDDY T: Um...(frantically poking the underside of his desk, mistakenly believing he had installed an escape chute)...I, er, well.....you see, the thing is that we are a family here and I, uh......what I mean to say is that (TEDDY T implodes, leaving just a small pile of dust on the chair)

(PLAYER X and PLAYER X's AGENT are sitting there, bewildered. PLAYER X looks at his agent and shrugs.)

PLAYER X: Call the Jets.
